Approach and docking of the Atlantis to the Kristall module of the Mir station

The third docking of the Shuttle with the Mir station took place during this expedition in March 1996.

Subsequent operations, including the berthing and docking of the craft with the station, were performed by automatic flight control.

The docking and joint flight of the Mir station and the Atlantis demonstrated the potential scientific and technical benefits to be gained from setting up an international manned station.

An important factor in developing and strengthening international cooperation in space is phase one of the ISS programme, which involves the docking of the United States Space Shuttle at the Mir station and long duration stays of United States astronauts on the station.

During OMDP, Atlantis was outfitted with the modifications necessary to dock with the Russian Mir space station, with the first docking mission scheduled for the third quarter of FY 1995.
